So, I wrapped my first coil, 4 wraps around two wicks, then put the wicks so that they went from corner to corner (not parallel).

One end of the wire that was on the metal channels I wrapped around the nut and tightened the nut, the other side of the wire I wrapped around the tiny O ring.

I attached the two bottom pieces (the air flow control ring and whatever the other piece is called) and left the tank unattached for the moment.

I attached to three different PVs and none of them even see an Atty connected.

What I noticed is that the brass center isnt far enough down to make contact with the PV but I cant screw the air flow control ring any further in order to make the brass pin make contact...

Oh, and speaking of which, is there supposed to be a 'pin' in the center of the brass contact? Because there isnt one and every other rebuildable I have has a pointy rod that is spring loaded that is the thing that actually makes contact with the PV...

I hope all this makes sense, I really dont know what Im doing wrong...
